<p>A Licoln era game could be good if pull off correctly.</p><p><a href="http://www.magicinkgaming.com/" title="http://www.magicinkgaming.com/">http://www.magicinkgaming.com/</a></p>Sat, 20 Jun 2009 04:08:22 +0000killatiacomment 223006 at http://gamepolitics.comRe: Abraham Lincoln: The Video Gamehttp://gamepolitics.com/2009/06/19/abraham-lincoln-video-game#comment-222857
<br /><p>I'll admit 'Lincoln' would never be an EA title, it's far too deep and doesn't have enough codpieces in it, but for companies like Strategy First and other specialised groups, I&nbsp;don't see any reason why a game playing as President in Lincolns' era would need to be glitzy or glamourized, and would probably be very educational.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>Fri, 19 Jun 2009 16:06:14 +0000GoodRobotUscomment 222857 at http://gamepolitics.comRe: Abraham Lincoln: The Video Gamehttp://gamepolitics.com/2009/06/19/abraham-lincoln-video-game#comment-222849

<p>Heck, I'd buy a Lincoln game.&nbsp; It would be a lot of fun to see what problems Lincoln faced.&nbsp; Games have always been a great medium to make history approachable to folks who usually have no interest in the drier forms of historical scholarship.&nbsp; Look at historical games such as Silent Hunter III and IV which give a lot of insight into WW2 submarine warfare, or even more lighthearted games such as the recent The Political Machine.</p><p>To suggest that games are an incompatible format for serious study says a lot of bad things about the person making that argument.&nbsp; It also says bad things about the state of gaming when some idiot can make that argument without seeming completely out of touch with the medium.</p>Fri, 19 Jun 2009 14:57:08 +0000Bennett Beenycomment 222842 at http://gamepolitics.comRe: Abraham Lincoln: The Video Gamehttp://gamepolitics.com/2009/06/19/abraham-lincoln-video-game#comment-222840
<p>Psst, Nate. Just so you know, Bing ain't exactly anyone's success story, either.</p>Fri, 19 Jun 2009 14:50:25 +0000JDKJcomment 222840 at http://gamepolitics.comRe: Abraham Lincoln: The Video Gamehttp://gamepolitics.com/2009/06/19/abraham-lincoln-video-game#comment-222839
<p>IF that were to occur, Gatling Lincoln or GTFO</p>Fri, 19 Jun 2009 14:46:08 +0000hellfire7885comment 222839 at http://gamepolitics.comRe: Abraham Lincoln: The Video Gamehttp://gamepolitics.com/2009/06/19/abraham-lincoln-video-game#comment-222836
<p>The game would have a terrible ending. Unless they changed it so that Lincoln comes back to life for a final showdown with Booth.</p><p>---You are likely to be eaten by a Grue.</p>Fri, 19 Jun 2009 14:35:23 +0000MaskedPixelantecomment 222836 at http://gamepolitics.comRe: Abraham Lincoln: The Video Gamehttp://gamepolitics.com/2009/06/19/abraham-lincoln-video-game#comment-222833
<p>What a cretin. That's quite a ridiculous leap of logic to expect a game. And even bigger one to suggest EA would be the ones to do it.</p><p>--------------------------------------------------</p><p>I LIKE the fence.
